The banger racing was MUCH harder & full on. Difference is we went out looking for it on the track. On the road we all want to avoid it.
  I'm going to work tomorrow & won't make any rash decisions but after all these years i'm uneasy in the truck now. We'll see how it goes but i've never felt like this before, i'm on edge all the time, can't be safe.

After all these years you have proven to yourself that your not dangerous and even when a situation occured that could have been, you responded quickly and the result was nothing more than a minor knock.

Its easy to analyse what could have been following a minor knock, the key and most important thing is to see that your excellent driving skills and awareness made it a non event.

So, be proud of your skills (which not many have)

Today was'nt actually too bad, i was only thinking about it on & off, in between i was content again although once i got back to the yard i cheered up totally...2 days off!
   A thought struck me earlier though. The lad who had the truck before me suddenly & out of character broke a step, dented the fuel tank & rear ended a Subaru legacy/forester? writing it off. After years clean in two Scanias (broke one rear light lens) i got the Volvo & in 18 months ish i've knocked down an electric security gate broken two seperate mirrors at Petrolite in Knowsley (other trucks) loaded the wrong container, tipped it at the wrong place, (cost my gaffer over a grand to put right) one or too other sillies & then this debacle.
   Can an inanimate object be jinxed? I.ve gone from one catstrphe to another all in this truck as did the last driver.

   Maybe it's a good thing i'm due another new wagon soon!

Amigo Guy, you can just as easily kill someone in a minicab. Actually, possibly more likely if the truth be told due to the nature of the beast.

Do what you want to do, but its always struck me that you've always enjoyed what you did.  Hopefully, you've had your only incident now.

Seconded, also there are reports almost daily here of cabbies getting attacked and robbed so the grass may well not be greener on this matter.....

Keep at it Guy, if you're anything like me then its in your blood and as much as you be uneasy right now, if you were to try anything else it just wouldnt be what you wanted mate

Trust me, I have been in the office for 7 months and am missing the road.........
